UFA Time

I think the best thing I’ve seen relating to the commencement of the NHL’s Unrestricted Free Agent signing period today at noon might just be this little Sortable UFA Tracker that TSN has going on it’s website. A quick and easy way to see who’s going where, what they’re getting paid, which teams are stocking up, etc.

I’m tired of all the talk about Ilya Kovalchuk. Frankly, I don’t care where he ends up. A decent enough goal scorer but yet to show he’s the sort of impact player that is going to inspire/carry a team to the Promised Land.

I don’t expect a lot from the Bruins as the room on their roster and under their salary cap is extremely limited until they can trim some fat and the chances of that happening this off-season seem more and more remote as time goes on. Even if Savard or Thomas can be moved, they’ll be eating equivalent contracts in return I think.
